i have now googled and read every story online about how every pregnant woman on the face of the earth just knew what she was having (and was either right or wrong). as my ob says (who say it's a girl--- not scientifically proven yet), she's got a 50-50 shot on guessing it right.
me on the other hand. i have NO CLUE. none. i don't know if there is a boy in there or a girl. i am not having dreams about holding my sweet baby ____. on the one hand, i could be having a boy because there aren't any girls born in t's family. on the other hand, i could be having a girl because god is funny and has a sense of humor and knows this would smite me for oh so much.
so in the mean time, this is driving me bonkers. i won't find out until december and there is a chance we won't find out. i want to know. i need to know. this is probably one of the things that is driving me nuts. terribly. i am not stressed about the birth or the after.... i am calm about that. nope. i need to know what IT is... any guesses? i'm sure someone will be right.

so one of the weirdest aspects of being pregnant with the dumpling is moving. my belly is finally growing. i have a definite bump. but with this bump and all the changes my body is going through, movement has gotten weird.
weird. normal movements have become a big ow! a normal twist or pulling with my stomach muscles now creates this insane yank or pull of my muscles that hurts. now, i know this is normal and to be expected, but no one tells you how often you'll do this to yourself in the course of the day as your body stretches to make room for baby.
or maybe i just never realized how often i move around and reposition myself while sitting. still, very weird.

so, i am now in my second trimester and feeling a thousand times better than the first. i don't want to harf at a moment's notice. i don't dislike smells. i feel energetic and less tired. but i also don't feel any movement. so to be quite honest, apart from being chubby, i can't tell that i am pregnant. it is fricking weird. surreal even.
about a month ago we had our first ultrasound. and in one month we find out what the dumpling is... boy or girl. as well as if there has been an evil twin lurking and hiding behind his/her sibling.
